Rest in Peace, Aunt Barb

On Sunday night, November 27, as my Aunt Barb and Uncle Lou were walking across a street, my aunt was hit by a speeding car which fled the scene after the horrific accident. She passed away the following morning, November 28, on their 52nd wedding anniversary. No words can ever express how much I loved her, and how her love for me healed my whole being. Rest in peace, Aunt Barb.

Dear Aunt Barb, I never knew anyone kinder or gentler than you Your goodness shone brightly from the inside out Your selflessness was your gift to all of us Your caring attention which you so lovingly bestowed was unsurpassed Your compassion, your beauty, and your purity was undeniable I was so blessed to have been loved by you So privileged that I held a special place in your heart I adored you and cherished your opinion and your perspective I saw a different Teri through your eyes And I was ever thankful for your dignity, your calm demeanor Your saintly way of helping me to see my specialness I was looking forward to years and years with you But life is cruel And my future years with you are gone You are forever missing from me nowThe only thing I can cling to Is the ever presence of your angelic spirit And your resplendent soul Rest peacefully Watch over me Aunt Barb And when you see my grandmother hold her in your loving arms until I see you both
